2-Hydroxycinnamaldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl nucleophiles were used in an asymmetric organocatalyzed reaction sequence to construct bridged bicyclic acetals via a multicatalytic process involving iminium catalysis and anion-binding catalysis.

Abstract In living systems, nucleophilic amino acid residues are prone to non-enzymatic post-translational modification by electrophiles. α-Dicarbonyl compounds are a special type of electrophiles that can react irreversibly with lysine, arginine, and cysteine residues via complex mechanisms to form post-translational modifications known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone are the major endogenous dicarbonyls, with methylglyoxal being the most well-studied. There are several routes that lead to the formation of dicarbonyl compounds, most originating from glucose and glucose metabolism, such as the non-enzymatic decomposition of glycolytic intermediates and fructosyl amines. Although dicarbonyls are removed continuously mainly via the glyoxalase system, several conditions lead to an increase in dicarbonyl concentration and thereby AGE formation. AGEs have been implicated in diabetes and aging-related diseases, and for this reason the elucidation of their structure as well as protein targets is of great interest. Though the dicarbonyls and reactive protein side chains are of relatively simple nature, the structures of the adducts as well as their mechanism of formation are not that trivial. Furthermore, detection of sites of modification can be demanding and current best practices rely on either direct mass spectrometry or various methods of enrichment based on antibodies or click chemistry followed by mass spectrometry. Future research into the structure of these adducts and protein targets of dicarbonyl compounds may improve the understanding of how the mechanisms of diabetes and aging-related physiological damage occur.

SummaryIn a thrombin generation test with continuous registration of thrombin activity in plasma we studied the ability of a variety of thrombin inhibitors of different type and mechanism of action to influence the activity of thrombin after activation of the coagulation system. Depending on the inhibitor, the peak of thrombin activity is delayed and/or reduced.By blocking the active site of generated thrombin inhibitors cause a concentration dependent reduction of the thrombin peak and inhibit feed-back reactions of thrombin resulting in a delay of thrombin generation. Highly potent synthetic active-site directed inhibitors (Ki ≤ 20 nM) reduce the thrombin activity formed in plasma after extrinsic or intrinsic activation with the same efficiency (IC50 0.1 - 0.6 μM) as hirudin. The delay and reduction of thrombin generation by inhibitors of the anion-binding exosite 1 of thrombin is only attributed to an inhibition of feed-back reactions of thrombin. For a 50% reduction of thrombin activity in plasma by this type of inhibitors relatively high concentrations were determined.

AzaBenzannulated PDI (AzaBPDI) dyes were synthesized in high yields via a new reaction sequence involving an imine condensation followed by visible light-induced photocyclization. The large scope and efficiency of this alternative to the Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated, and allows the easy preparation of dimeric AzaBPDI as potential non-fullerene acceptors for organic solar cells.

<div>We report the synthesis of a novel macrocyclic host molecule that forms in a single step from commercially available starting materials. The core of the macrocycle backbone possesses two quinone rings and, thus, is redox-active. Host-guest binding involving the clip-shaped cavity indicates selective binding of pyridine <i>N</i>-oxides based of the electron density of and steric bulk of the anionic oxygen.</div>

The title compound X was prepared according to the recently published procedure for preparation of analogous derivatives in the 5β-pregnane series, using the reaction sequence I -> II -> III -> IV -> V -> VI -> VII -> VII -> IX -> X (total yield 18%). The configuration at ring D centers (14β,17α) follows from the structure of the starting ketone I and was also checked by comparing diol IV with the sample prepared by an independent route. The epimeric purity at C-17 was carefully monitored during the whole synthesis by 1H NMR spectra (singlet of 18-H3).

A new series of π-extended quinone derivatives containing a pyrrole bridge exhibited NH/OH-type tautomerization and anion binding along with deprotonation that induced near-infrared absorption and ion-pairing assemblies.
